(Part-Time students make up approx. 69% of the Ryerson MBA students. These figures are for year 2010, I think)
Global:
Full Time : 50 students
Part Time : 66 students
MTI:
Full Time : 30 students
Part Time : 53 students
MMSc:
Full Time : 5 students
Part Time : 4 students
This is one of the things about the MBA program. A lot of the students are part time students, who are ALREADY on high paying jobs! That messes up the final results because these people form almost 7/10ths of the MBA program !!!
If a survey was done ONLY to include NEW GRADUTES, who were not on a full time job while doing the MBA program, and got a new job, as a result of the MBA program, then, it would be different! If this MBA salary survey was used to calculate ONLY the Full Time MBA students, the results would have been different.
When both part time and full time student information is mixed up, then the picture presented does NOT tell the real story. People join an MBA program because they believe that their salaries will go up as a direct contribution of MBA learning and MBA degree certificate.
How effective is the MBA program to actually create jobs? What are the statistics? A detailed picture or an annual report is not available for public consumption. And whatever information is available does not present the complete picture.
Cheers!

This blog documents my MBA student life at Ryerson University, Canada (2010-2012). It was an attempt to demystify the MBA experience, help understand MBA topics & encourage MBA wannabes. I have a Pre-MBA blog about B-School application process (and a few other blogs) as well. I used to blog actively in the past and interact with readers regularly, but life got very busy after my MBA. Good luck. Take care. Cheers! Gerry.
